Synergistic Antibacterial Activity

The objective was framed to analyse the synergistic antibacterial activity and woundhealing ability of the developed polyketide-alginate polymers. Alginates were extracted from a brown seaweed Padina tetrastromatica and used as a synergistic compound along with bacterial polyketides. Polyketides and alginate polymer combinations were used against test bacteria to determine the synergistic antibacterial activity. A novel wound-healing film was developed using polyketide and alginates with synergistic concentrations and its degradability and wound-healing ability was investigated. The findings in the present research showed most significantly that, Staphylococcus aureus showed complete synergy with the mean MIC value of 0.03 μg/ml and with best FIC value of 0.24 (p<0.5). Degradation of developed films revealed that more moisture leads to more release of antibacterial alginate content at the wound site and hence more degradation. This was evident from the FESEM analysis. In vitro wound-healing assay revealed that the developed polyketide-alginate polymers exhibited cell migration and proliferation after 24th hour of incubation at 370C indicating the wound-healing abilities. Hence, it can be concluded that the biochemical compounds present in the developed polyketide-alginate polymers are considered highly significant in treating any types of wounds.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of Lumbricus rubellus earthworms through inhibitory zone diameter to the growth of the bacterium Phorphyromonas gingivalis as the cause of periodontitis. METHODS: This was an experimental study with randomised posttest-only control group design. The study was conducted at the Microbiology Research Center laboratory at the Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, Indonesia. The study was conducted in vitro, the sample size was calculated using the Federer formula as many as four agar plates containing bacteria Phorphyromonas gingivalis, with each plate given five different treatments: control (ethanol), Lumbricus rubellus earthworm extract (ECT) with concentrations of 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 6.25% respectively. The data in the form of inhibition zone diameter (measured in millimetres) obtained were tested using One-Way ANOVA. RESULTS: The mean diameter of the inhibitory zone extract of Lumbricus rubellus earthworm on the growth of Phorphyromonas gingivalis bacteria in the treatment group had significant differences (p < 0.05). The mean inhibition zones between controls and the ECT treatment group (ECT 50%, ECT 25%, ECT 12.5%) were statistically different (p < 0.05), in contrast with ECT 6.25% (p > 0.05) which did not show significant difference with the control group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Lumbricus rubellus earthworm extract with a concentration of 50% has the largest diameter of the inhibitory zone on the growth of the Phorphyromonas gingivalis bacteria. The 6.25% earthworm extract showed no antibacterial activity against the growth of Phorphyromonas gingivalis bacteria.

Antibacterial Potential

Antimicrobial peptides from Streptomyces sp. and marine fish (Carangoides malabaricus) were extracted and developed as conjugates in the present study. The objective was framed to analyze the ability of conjugate to retard the growth of test bacteria causing diabetic foot ulcers. Fibroblast cell adhesion on AMP conjugates coated mesh samples were recorded using microscopic studies with an aim of developing a novel tissue engineered wound dressing material. Thus developed tissue engineered materials were evaluated for its antibacterial potential against wound pathogens; and to assay the wound healing ability using a standard in vitro wound scratch method. Tissue engineered materials were developed using L929 fibroblast cells. L929 fibroblast cells attachment and its stage wise development on wound dressing mesh materials were microscopically observed. In vitro wound healing assay revealed that the developed conjugates (containing AMPs) exhibited cell migration and proliferation after 12th hour of incubation indicating the wound healing abilities. The results showed that the developed tissue engineered wound dressing material has commercial interest in near future.

Significant Difference

Silver nanoparticles have attracted great interests widely in medicine due to its great characteristics of antibacterial activity. In this research, the antibacterial activity and biocompatibility of a topical gel synthesized from polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and silver nanoparticles were studied. Hydrogels with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (15 ppm, 30 ppm, and 60 ppm) were evaluated to compare their antibacterial activity, nanoparticles’ sizes, and in vivo behaviors. The resulted silver nanoparticles in the hydrogel were characterized by TEM showing the nanoparticles’ sizes less than 22 nm. The in vitro results prove that the antibacterial effects of all of the samples are satisfied. However, the in vivo results demonstrate the significant difference among different hydrogels in wound healing, where hydrogel with 30 ppm shows the best healing rate.

Wound Site

Impaired wound healing is a major complication of diabetes and involves sustained inflammation and oxidative stress at the wound site. Here, we investigated the potential involvement of ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, in the pathogenesis of diabetic wound healing. Fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells exposed to high glucose concentrations in vitro contained elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation products, and ferroptosis-associated proteins, and displayed reduced survival and migration. These effects of high glucose were all significantly reduced by treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). Similarly, in a rat model of diabetes, direct application of Fer-1 to the wound site reduced the expression of oxidative stress and inflammation markers and accelerated wound healing via activation of the anti-inflammatory phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. Our results implicate ferroptosis in wound healing and identify a potential new therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat diabetic wounds.

Cell Migration And Proliferation

Cell migration and proliferation are important for proper wound healing after skin injury. Recent studies have shown that compounds from plants could promote cell migration and proliferation. Tracheloside, which is a plant lignan, has been found to promote the growth of HaCaT cells over 40% compared to other compounds tested based on a cell proliferation assay. An in vitro scratch assay confirmed the healing activity of tracheloside (more than 2-fold increased healing activity after 24 hours of treatment compared with the control) and revealed that this activity is better than that of allantoin (1.2-fold increased after 24 hours of treatment compared with the control), a positive control. With western blot results, wound healing with tracheloside occurred through the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Therefore, tracheloside is a good candidate to promote wound healing and could be developed as a therapeutic agent for wound treatment or used as a leading compound with higher activity.

Aim: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of fosfomycin–meropenem and fosfomycin–colistin combinations against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp). Methods: A total of 50 CR-Kp isolates recovered from blood cultures were included in this study. All the CR-Kp isolates were screened for the presence of carbapenem resistant genes blaIMP. blaVIM. blaNDM. blaOXA-48 like, blaKPC. blaGES.#x00A0;and blaSPM. Combination testing of fosfomycin–meropenem and fosfomycin–colistin were performed using time-kill assay. Results: Fosfomycin–meropenem combination showed synergy in 20% of the tested CR-Kp isolates. While, fosfomycin–colistin exhibited synergy against 16% of the isolates. A total of 68% (n = 34) of CR-Kp isolates were characterised as OXA-48-like producers and 22% (n = 11) as NDM producers. Synergistic activity of these combinations was observed against OXA-48, NDM and NDM + OXA-48 co-producers. Conclusion: Considerable synergistic antibacterial activity of fosfomycin–meropenem and fosfomycin–colistin was not observed against CR-Kp isolates. Therefore, these combinations may not be promising for infections associated with CR-Kp.
